The Document Foundation has announced that the final version for LibreOffice 4.0.1 RC2 is now available for the Linux platform, bringing a lot of bugfixes and improvements.

According to The Document Foundation, starting with version 4.0.0, the LibreOffice installer files have a new naming scheme. The most important is that "LibO" is replaced by "LibreOffice" in the names – so if you uses scripts to download the packages, you will have them updated to the new schema.

The new LibreOffice 4.0.1 RC2 is a smaller update that the previous one, which could be a sign that another stable release is just around the corner. There is not information about how many release candidate will be available, but it won’t be too long now.

As a side note from the developers, the Linux packages can be installed in parallel to LibreOffice 3.6, but not run simultaneously.
